That's a great vid Tom and there are others as well.
There are several radios to look at. Some use different protocols which means
whether you put together your own quad or buy a BNF your radio and receiver
in the quad have to speak the same language.
By now I would think that everyone knows whether they like the sport or not.
I believe Tom has the right idea...get a good quality radio that you can grow
with. The QX7 or QX7s is a great radio for many reasons. $80 more for the
"s". What do you get for $80?
LiPo battery
Charger
Upgraded hall gimbals
Upgraded switches
Gimbal protector
Carrying case
Is it worth it...will it make you a better pilot? Just personal
preference...add up the numbers...you decide. Either way you can't go wrong.
Be sure and look at different vendors. Some carry different colors (white
blue black orange carbon-fiber) and/or an extra module.
Can you imagine what Saturday classes maybe like? Open TX, Betaflight,
simulators, building quads or BNF, adjusting pids, gate racing or freestyle,
pinching or thumbing just to name a few possible topics...Wow!
Keep flying,

Caught this video along with quite a number of others I have been watching.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JlVWk0BI58 ;
My plan is to start with a good radio and do the simulator. I have a radio
(the one mentioned in the video) AND a starter racing drone coming this
weekend.
Some things / terms I have learned
RTF - ready to fly drones. Like we have been buying. Not all racing drones
that come pre-assembled are RTF.
RTB - Some are RTB (ready to bind) where you need to have the drone radio
reciever match up or able to be PAIRED with whatever Drone transmitter
(radio) you plan to buy.
More to come. Let me know if anyone else is beginning to dabble.
